Abstract
Background: Limited data are available on bicytopenia (BC) in patients with heart failure (HF).
Objectives: This study evaluated the association between BC and prognosis in patients with HF.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled consecutive hospitalised patients with HF. We compared all-cause and cardiovascular mortality between those with and without BC. BC was defined as the combination of any two conditions among leukopaenia, thrombocytopaenia, and anaemia. Propensity score matching and a Cox proportional hazards model were applied.
Results: Among 935 hospitalised patients, 103 patients had BC. Patients in the BC group were older (80.0 ± 12.0 vs. 73.4 ± 14.7 years; P < 0.0001), including a higher proportion of females (55.3% vs. 41.7%; P = 0.009), had a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (51.5% vs 41.1%; P = 0.047), had a lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (50.8 ± 24.1 vs. 56.2 ± 23.9 mL/min/1.73 m2; P = 0.03), and had a higher left ventricular ejection fraction (48.1 ± 16.1 vs. 42.4 ± 15.8%; P = 0.0008). Propensity score matching with a 1:1 ratio produced 63 matched pairs. All-cause mortality was significantly higher in the BC group than in the non-BC group (log-rank P = 0.069 and Wilcoxon P = 0.048); however, cardiovascular mortality and hospitalisation for HF showed no significant differences. In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, BC was associated with higher all-cause mortality but not with cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio, 1.983; 95% confidence interval, 1.008-3.898; P = 0.047).
Conclusion: BC was associated with all-cause mortality but not with cardiovascular mortality in patients with HF. BC is an important risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with HF.

期刊介绍:
Global Heart offers a forum for dialogue and education on research, developments, trends, solutions and public health programs related to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent CVDs and the underlying factors. The emphasis should be on approaches applicable in settings with limited resources.
Economic evaluations of successful interventions are particularly welcome. We will also consider negative findings if important. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments are not excluded, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, we give priority to papers addressing community-based activities. We encourage submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations related to prevention.
Global Heart is particularly interested in publishing data from updated national or regional demographic health surveys, World Health Organization or Global Burden of Disease data, large clinical disease databases or registries. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses on globally relevant topics are welcome. We will also consider clinical research that has special relevance to LMICs, e.g. using validated instruments to assess health-related quality-of-life in patients from LMICs, innovative diagnostic-therapeutic applications, real-world effectiveness clinical trials, research methods (innovative methodologic papers, with emphasis on low-cost research methods or novel application of methods in low resource settings), and papers pertaining to cardiovascular health promotion and policy (quantitative evaluation of health programs.
